I’m very excited!

January 29th, 2009

Got a phone call this evening about a little machinery project that we embarked upon with Marco, telling me that they will be debuting the machine at CatEx – Ireland’s HORECA tradeshow – between the 9th and 11th of February.  It was an idea we had that they agree to R&D, and the data coming back from testing was impressive.

At the moment I still can’t give much away, it is nothing to do with espresso, it isn’t a coffee brewer either but I hope it will be great.  I have yet to see a finished unit, and I gather the aesthetic side is still quite open.  I’ll likely be heading over on the 1oth for a quick play with it, and to make coffee for people at the show and to talk about the project a little more.

Like a kid in a candy store…….

    Is this the long-awaited PID-controlled moka pot?

    Just make sure if it’s super cool and I have to have one it doesn’t cost 5 grand…I want to go on holiday this year.

    Cheers.

    Do I get a point for being the closest guess. Interesting project.

    … I never even knew there were trade shows just for coffee. But it does sound like an interesting project.
